The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1887-01-04

One of the most prominent orange
growers has something to say this
morning, in reference to the Exchange
and its methods. The discussion is
arousing interest and awakening
thought throughout the country on a
most important subject, and we believe
will do lasting good. Neither ourselves
nor our correspondents doubt the disinter-
estedness or public spirit of the members
Of the Exchange, and all are vitality
concerned in the proper understanding
Of the question. Other letters will fol-
low those of the distinguished gentle
men who have already spoken, and an in
terview with Mr.. Greenleaf showed
that he still had other and important ar
guments to urge on his side of the
question. We invite the fullest Discus
sion and a full sitting of the evidence
pro and con.
The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1887-01-04

The issue between the General Mana
ger of the J., T. & K. w. Railway and
the editor of the Times Union has now
been further complicated by the charges
Of falsehood hurled 10y each, and with
this stage of the proceedings the public
has nothing to do. But there is one
charge made by the editor which affects
US. He says:
There is not town In the State reached by
the j., T. < h. w. Railway in which il is not
abhorred and the very drummers around
the DEPOT will go out of their way 10 prevent
a passenger from taking their trains"
We doubt if this is true as to Jackson
vile; it is certainly false as far az it re-
fers to Palatka. The road is interested
with us in the growth and development
of our town it's officials have in every
instance proved themselves pleasant and
obliging gentlemen, as well as capable
men of business. Complaints are excep-
tionaily rare, and have been met in q
spirit of Cancellation and justice. There
is no feeling against Gen. Bentley or any
of his " officials here the very reverse
of the charge is true.
